Saw this too. So basically if I transfer in enough Chase Ultimate Rewards to get 2x RT J class awards from the US to basically anywhere, I get *G status as well... And it looks like it might also qualify for some sort of rollover giving another year of *G status as well?

Somehow, the link on the first post is not working on my computer.
Just want to ask some clarification, that any miles received from participating credit cards now will be converting into both KF miles and Elite miles, instead of KF miles only?

Yes, it looks like it, but there is a ratio. 1 elite mile for every 5 miles converted it looks like. So 250,000 miles converted from something like Chase becomes 50,000 elite miles

Seems almost too good to be true... given how many people have large balances of convertible CC points accrued. I would definitely use 250k within a year or so anyway.
I wonder what the chances are that too many people take them up on this offer and they finish the campaign early?

I'm looking at this because my OZ status is expiring this month and between their relative lack of clarity in communication regarding status extensions and the whole KE merger, I'm looking at an alternative *A program and since I'm sitting on a decent stash of convertible points from elsewhere, this does look pretty attractive.

I have transferred some miles from my Bank credit card (> 10,000 miles) as well as from non-bank partners (> 500 miles) and they have shown up in my KF account with the status miles tracked. So, if they do not end this promotion early, it is really a good way to retain / upgrade elite status with them.

Could someone help me remember - does SQ reset the Elite miles counter when you qualify for Silver and then you have to do another 50k? Or is it just 50k within any 12 month period?
It occurred to me that one could just do 49k miles through CC transfers and then leave the 1000 miles to take a flight before the 12 months is up, which will start the status from that date.

All it takes is 25,000 Elite miles, earned within 12 consecutive months, to get to KrisFlyer Elite Silver. You will be upgraded as soon as you reach it* and your membership will last until the end of the 12th month.
Earn 25,000 Elite miles during this time and you’ll have Elite Silver for another year. If you earn at least 50,000 Elite miles within 12 months, you’ll go straight to KrisFlyer Elite Gold.
